If you say so... I called Origi's attitude before the game started. We never play well in cup games, too much of a mix up in selection.
He played well v ac milan and in the last round. He is hanging on a shoulder and half looking but nobody is playing it to him. Minamino is anonymous. Ox is taking 5 touches. It's all too individual.and zero pattern which is what should be expected if all our players supposedly play the same system and are inter changeable.
Might have (unintentionally) pissed a few off in the past on match threads tbf but genuinely not that bothered about the result if this. Great if we win but equally, we could do without the fixtures.
Pattern of play, bit of intent and same style as they played.in last round. That means pushing in hard on their players and forcing errors. We are stood about taking 5 touches then hammering a ball at a player or passing it 5 yards away from them. In anyone's language thats poor.
If ox comes off Parry was even on before game and they asked him about relevance of comp. It was laughable to see the CEO or whatever of the efl being asked such a thing in his own comp and then answering it. Even admitted they want the sf and final revenue and that's it.
It was a bit better than this. Examples. Adrian is passing short only. Kelleher would deliver wide earlier. Ox was absolutely awful last game but origi and minamino played well and minamino played 3 positions to cover off ox finished right centre.midfield running all over. Hes anonymous tonight. There were players giving more than this. Just need to pick up the pace and move the ball with intent.
